Hello John,
?
I will respectfully disagree with your comment of the drill bits from HF (Harbor Freight).
?
Now while I did have a small drill bit set from HF?back in the late 70's that was of very poor quality, improperly ground tips, bent drills right out of the box,?questionable hardness -?dulled immediately.?I know that the quality has now improved. I purchased a 115 drill bit set from HF?a while back and was very pleasantly surprised by its quality. Now I did buy the more expensive?Cobalt drill bit?set ($109.99) fearing the quality of the lower end HSS ($34.99) or Titanium M2 coated set ($49.99). All of these prices are list every day prices, and often go on sale and of course take off an extra 25% with a coupon.
?
I'd have no problem recommending them to anyone looking fro a set of drill bits

If the material is not hardened, I would just use a good high-speed steel drill.
I would not use any drill from HF since they are suspect.

Do we think these would (reasonably) drill through HSS ?

Just curious.
